Purpose

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger problems (as done last year at the Toronto Code Sprint 2009). This code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, Mapserver, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

Timing

Dates: February 20 to 23, 2010.

Duration: Four days (Saturday to Tuesday) from approximately 9am-4pm

Venue

The Open Planning Project and OpenGeo will be hosting the event this year, in a penthouse event room (pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4) on the top floor of their offices (Map), providing us a beautiful space and free internet access for the duration.

Weekend Access

Access on the weekend will be complicated due to the main lobby being locked. If you leave the venue, remember to bring your cellphone' so you can call up to get let back in. Call or text Paul @ 1-555-555-5555 if you find yourself locked out.

Sponsors

We will again be looking for sponsors ($750) to support food and fun for the sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four productive days. Each $750 sponsorship will be put towards lunch and dinner costs for the sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable to attend.
